I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's .letter of this morning, and (0 :conratulate you and the Spanish Nation on the firm and manly step you have taken on this impor tant occasion.

To place your Excellency as much at ease as possible respe&ing the line of con dua that may be adopted in the present event by the English Admiral commanding in the Belt, not withstanding the hostility of this day, I, have the honour to inform you, that I have given the stri&est orders to all under my command, to observe,to ..,Nyards, the inhabitants of Nyborg, the utmost et ; and it is my wish .to abstain from every bo-..tile and offensive aa, so long as no hostile and offensive measures are pursued by the Troops -of ,‘ Denmark or France against those of. -Spain ; but if any ' opposition should be attempted either .by the Danes or French to the peaceable and. .unotfending obje& in view, namely, the quiet embarkationof the.

But- although neither one nor the other could be better secured than by the- Word.of a British OfUer, still it must be evident to your Excellene'y that under existing circumstances, the Spanish General has occasion for several of the sthall. Craft in Port, and that unless th© Masters and Crews of them will lend their aid to equip and navigate their Vessel, it may not be in nky power to secure them from injury but if they will, I pledge myself, after the service on which they are required '(and which will be of short duration) shall have been ended, that I will not only use every means in my power to secure them from injury, bUt grant Passports to :hem all to return in safety.. have the hon Our to be, &c. • • - - ,•, (Signed) 11.

On that occasion his Majesty ap pointed his Council of State, and created Count • .Csraro IYALANGE a Grandee of the first class. This is. the whole of the information which BUON . APARTE. has thought proper to communicate to his vassals re spewing Spain, and we venture to predi& it is.the last which he will condescend to give them for some time. Soe,e of tt.e unofficial French Papers have recently received a very severe leaure from the Mo. niteur, for having incautiously mentioned some ru mours that .were circulated on the Continent ; and if they should repeat the offence, they will, there is no doubt, share the fate of the Bayreuth Courant, which • has been suppressed, " and it is to be hoped;" says the Moniteur, " that other Journalists may take warning from. this salu fary example." Bat 'it is not the propagation of " unfounded reports" only that excites the 'vengeance of BUONAPAETE against the unfortunate Editors of the Continental Papers; sometimes the statement of an undoubted faa draws down upon them the se verest punishment. A Paper published in Ham burgh has within these feW weeks been suppressed for having inserted the Prnclamation which was issued in this Country for the cessation of hostilities with Spain. This circumstance is not mentioned in th e Ataniteur, because it would have been necessary state,the offence which the Paper had committed,- . and it was not perhaps thought quite pendent to let the People of France so much in o the secret respect ing the amicable relations which subsist between this Country and Spain. There is an article in one of these Papers which states, that the Spanish Troops in Jutland, Funen, &c. had taken the oatlis of allegiance to their new Sovereign, Don JOSEPH, and that upon that occa sion " their enthusiasm was universal !" - I have the honour to inform you, that, at daylight on the igth•instant, being in Lat. 28. 34.

From the nature of her cargo I have thought it advisable to take her to Bermuda, which I hope will meet with your appro : , bation. I have the honour to be, Sce. C. J. AUSTEN, Comniander.
